“Through Happiness and Woe,” 2010.
Two book works bound inside Japanese paper. Each book contains a series of graphite drawings, scanned and printed on mylar. Alluding to the idea of distance between the two individuals represented, a line is seen traveling throughout the piece. A short poem can be read on each book cover (the quality of each cover mirroring that of aging skin). As the piece is folded in on itself, the two poems (united) can be read in full.

“Distance has always played a role in my life (whether or not I’ve wanted it to). I have grown up with distance. It has broken my heart and spit it back up in my face. Lately I have been thinking and writing a lot about the towns and water towers and highways and humans inbetween us.”
